Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20120702-7B934-2147466080. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Ryobi SA1802. Source model text: Ryobi - SA1802. Incident: Ryobi cordless drill [SA 1802], Trigger area on the handle got hot, started to smoke and the drill stopped working. The handle emitted a burnt smell and the battery also overheated. This is a similiar recall problem with the Ryobi HP 1802M. The switch appears to be the problem, since I've read the other recall entries. This unit needs to be investigated and a recall issued. Thanks in advance.
